# The School and Department

The School of Engineering, Physical and Mathematical Sciences (EPMS) at Royal Holloway, University of London comprises the Departments of Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Information Security, Mathematics and Physics. We are pleased to announce that the School is embarking on an ambitious period of expansion in data science, artificial intelligence, computing, information security, digital engineering and physical science and, as part of this expansion, applications are invited for two Lectureships within the Department of Computer Science.

The Department of Computer Science has a record of outstanding research and was ranked 17th overall among UK computer science departments in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021, Times Higher Education ranking). We have very strong research groups in the areas of Intelligent Systems, Machine Learning, Algorithms and Complexity, and Programming Languages and Systems. There are also strong collaborations with the Information Security Department.

The Department of Computer Science is committed to delivering excellent teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and consistently achieves excellent results in graduate prospects metrics (92% graduates in employment or further study in 15 months, Guardian 2023). Our software engineering teaching has been hailed as a ‘best practice’ example by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT.

The Department of Computer Science is committed to reducing gender inequality, as recognised by an Athena SWAN Bronze award, and strongly welcomes applications from groups under-represented in academic posts.

Royal Holloway recognises the importance of helping its employees balance their work and home life by offering flexible working arrangements.  We are happy to consider a request for flexible working for this post including part time, job share or compressed working hours.
